IBM Spectrum LSF License Scheduler 10.1 Patch (532657) Readme File
Abstract
P103278.This enhancement allows jobs that request license resources to be submitted with resource distribution configuration (such as per job, per task, or per host) at the job, application, and queue level.
Description
Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF License Scheduler 10.1 Patch (532657) including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.
This fix includes the following issue:
In existing versions of LSF License Scheduler, you can only define license resource configuration (PER_TASK, PER_JOB, PER_HOST) at the cluster level in the lsb.resources file. After applying this fix, you can also submit LSF License Scheduler jobs with the required configuration at the job, application, and queue level. Specify this resource configuration in the rusage string in the resource requirements.
LSF 10.1 Fix Pack 9 and License Scheduler 10.1 Fix Pack 7 must be installed as a prerequisite for this patch.
Submit jobs that request licenses at different granular levels by using the following new rusage syntax:
bsub -R "rusage[feature_name= <amount>/task]" ./my_job
bsub -R "rusage[feature_name= <amount>/host]" ./my_job
bsub -R "rusage[feature_name= <amount>/job]" ./my_job
The job-level resource requirement overwrites application level, which overwrites queue-level (if present), which in turn overwrites cluster level (defined in lsb.resources).
The default value is per-job for license resource requests.
